We were very happy to help, in a very small way, in getting this beautiful structure out. The structure is remarkably conserved considering the famous 28S ribosomal RNA split. I suspect that the split has as yet unknown biological repercussions in this remarkable animal..
We have a new preprint for you. Naked mole rats are very long-lived rodents and have increased translational fidelity.

Interestingly, 28S ribosomal RNA is split. Here we investigated the structure of the ribosome by single particle cryo-EM. Take a look.

Hi Cryo-EM fellas!

What are the pros and cons of the latest cryoFIB milling tools? Any usage experience with Arctis already? Any huge advantages of plasma?

Two (!!!) postdocs got Marie Curie fellowships to work in our group. Igor Silva who is already with us scored top 3% of the applications, amazing

We need to increase funding nationally and at the EU level to attract more great scientists

Take a look at my personal perspective on the past, present, and future of in situ structural biology with cryo-ET+

While initially skeptical about the genre, I found it fun to write and hopefully, you can enjoy my experiences and some thoughts. Nice weekend y'all
